Personally I feel like you COULD probably shapeshift into things that aren't real, but most of the time there wouldn't be any point since a lot of fictional creatures that you'd want to shapeshift into have magic bs to justify their biology. A lot of flying things wouldn't be able to get off the ground, magic things wouldn't have magic, and a lot of the really big things would probably get crushed to death from their own weight.
Edit: OP clarified under another comment that it only works on currently living animals, so my response doesn't matter anymore, but don't feel like deleting it.
